Wyze cameras can now use AI to summarize your motion events

Wyze has launched the Cam Unlimited Pro subscription, offering AI features such as Descriptive Alerts and AI Video Search.

Wyze has officially launched Cam Unlimited Pro, a new subscription that gives you access to several AI-powered features. This includes Descriptive Alerts — text notifications generated by AI that accurately summarize motion events triggered by your camera. It’s a powerful feature, and one that should give you highly detailed alerts so you can determine if you need to dive into the Wyze app to watch the full video clip.

For example, an old alert from Wyze might say something like “Pet detected by Backyard Cam.” With Descriptive Alerts, that’ll change to “Small white dog playing with tennis ball in backyard at 4:04 PM.” It can also give you accurate descriptions of folks at your front door, letting you know if they’ve dropped off a package or delivered groceries.

Essentially, it takes the guesswork out of what’s happening on your property, leveraging AI technology to give you highly detailed information previously unavailable to Wyze users.

Descriptive Alerts is only the tip of the iceberg, as the new Cam Unlimited Pro subscription tier also unlocks AI Video Search. This lets you enter a text phrase when searching for motion events and should let you quickly find any video you’re looking for. That means you can type in “brown UPS truck” and the app will pull up any videos with content matching your description.

Other features include facial recognition for familiar faces, detection for people, pets, vehicles, and packages, glass break detection, multi-cam timeline, Wyze Web View, no time restrictions for live viewing, and cloud storage for your files.

The Cam Unlimited Pro subscription is supported by all Wyze cameras except for Wyze Cam v1, Wyze Video Doorbell v1, and Wyze Cam Outdoor v1. A single subscription covers all your supported cameras, and membership costs $20 per month or $200 per year.

Head over to the Wyze website to learn more about the service and upgrade your account. Be sure to also check out the best home security cameras for options beyond Wyze that are great for protecting your home.

Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.

Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
